men came In, and seeing him. respect
fully removed his hat, saying: why,
Mr.. Webster, when did you come from
Washington" It had not till that mo-
ment occurred to D'Orsay that he was
working in the church that Webster at
tended, but when the truth flashed
upon him that he had asked the great
expounder of the Constitution to snap
a chalk-line for him, he felt as if he
would have liked the floor to open and
let him drop out of sight.
Mr.. D'Orsay met him once after that
at Sandwich, Mass, where Webster and
Sam Tisdale, the iron merchant OF
Water street, who also died quarter
of century ago, were in the habit Of
coming each year for good fishing,
Tisdale paying the bills, including five
dollars to the chief of the Marshpee
Indians for the privilege of fishing.
D'Orsay was seated at the supper table
when the two came in, and Webster
saluted him cordially and asked him IL
he was still working at churches.
Seated opposite were three young
sports from Boston, clerks that had
come down and expressed the intention
to Squire Pope, the landlord, of fishing
the stream dry. One of the fellows
looked up as Webster took his seat and
said TO his companions; why. that's
the old cookie that pick-a-backed us
across the creek! Iwonder who he lisp"
Calling the servant girl to him he asked
her in a whisper. and in another whis-
per he got an answer that startled him
and his companions "Daniel Webster
and Sam Tisdale," said the girl. The
young fellows didn't stay to finish the
meal, but got out of the room as soon
as possible.
D'Orsay was puzzled by their sud.
den leaving, and when he further
learned that they had hired carriage
and left for Wareham in great haste he
asked the landlord the cause, where
upon Squire Pope told him the story as
Sam Tisdale had told it to him with
glee. 1t seems the fishing tramp of the
young fellows had brought them to
place where they wanted to cross, but
being dressed in clothes too fine to be
recklessly dampened, they looked
about for means to cross dryshod.
They soon deserted Webster and Tis-
dale on the other shore and one Of
them cried out; "say, old cookie, how
much will you charge to carry US across
pick-a-back. Twenty-Five cents
apiece" sung out Webster, in his
most majestic tones. "All right" No
sooner said than Webster plunged in
and, picking up one of them, carried
him on his back across. Returning, he
pick-a-backed the other two to the fur
ther bank, and pocketing the three
quarters, calmly resumed his fishing

Uses of the Bees Sting.

A bee expert claims to have discov-
cred that the sting of the bee is pro-
vided and used for flavoring the honey,
and for injecting into it a small guam
tity of formic acid-which is the poison
of the sting for this purpose. and for
preserving it from fermentation. If
this be true it corroborates the belief
that nothing exists for single purpose
alone, and that the bees sting has other
uses than for enabling it to defend its
home and young and store of food from
robbers of all kinds, and for killing of
the useless drones when they have
served the purpose for which they ex-
isted.-N. Y. Times.

WEST POINT ACADEMY.
History OF tho Establishment and Expan-
sion Of the Nations Military school.


The United States Military Academy
at West Point was founded by an act
of Congress of March 16, 1902, consti-
tuting the Corps of Engineers of the
army, military academy with fifty
students as cadets. who were to receive
instruction under the senior engineer
officer as superintendent Later acts
established professorships of mathe-
MATES, engineering, philosophy, etc,
and made the academy military body,
subject to the rules and articles of war
In 1915 a permanent superintendent
was appointed, and a year later an an
nual board of visitors were provided
for to be named by the President, the
of the Senate. In 1S4S the present sys-
TEN of appointment of cadets was in
stituted, which assigns one cadet to
each Congressional District and Terri
tory in the Union, to be named by the
Representative in Congress for the
time being, and ten appointments
at large. specially confirmed by the
President of the United States. The
number of students is thus limited to
343. A large proportion of those APP
pointed fail to pass the examination,
and many others to complete the
course, the proportion being stated at
fully one-half hitherto. The course of
instruction requires four years, and is
largely mathematical and professional.
The discipline is very strict, even more
so than in the army, and the enforce
ment of penalties for offenses is inflexi-
BILE, rather than severe. The whole
number of graduates from 1902 to 1877
was about 2,700, Of whom /, 200 are de-
ceased, and about 800 are living. Of
those surviving 800 are still in the
army and about 700 out of the service.
Appointees to "the Point must be be-
tween IL and 22 years of age, at least
five feet in height, and free from in
trinity, and able to pass a careful exam
ination in various kinds of knowledge.
Each cadet must bind himself to serve
the United States eight years from the
time of admission to 1.-THE Point" The
pay of the cadets, formerly $50 per
month and rations. was fixed at $40
per year, with no allowance for rations,
by the act of 1876. The Librarian OF
Congress furnishes the above informa.

AN ARTISTS HOME.
A Mansion which Can Truly Be Called .
Marvel OF Architecture.

Marvel OF Architecture.
Mr. Alma Tadema, most versatile Of
artists, has added one more world to
those he has already conquered. He
has become his own architect, and M.
Tissot's house in st. Johns Wood,
which was considered gem in it's way
when the French artist lived in it, has
been transformed inside and out into
something quite marvellous to behold.
In the exterior are bits of nearly all the
styles of all the ages, from the classic
romantic down to the latest nineteenth
century development of art, or eccen-
trio fashion and fancy. Inside, the
medley is still more bewildering, but
always harmonious. Mr.. Tadema was
resolved that every nook and corner OF
his new home should have its picture,
and each picture unlike its fellow. One
vista suggests Greece, another Rome, a
third the gorgeous and mysterious East.
The room designed for the special use
of the artists wife will be one of the
prettiest interiors in London. His own
studio will also be unique in arrange.
ment and decoration, and his friends
are already looking forward to the en-.
ioyment of his hospitality amid sur
roundings that will enhance. if possi-
BILE, its well-known grace and charm.
